On March 17 and 18 the UAS Scorpions hosted a Track and Field Tournament for 8 schools from Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha. It was a beautiful weekend for a track meet. Several of our Middle School Scorpions participated in this incredible event. Please enjoy some of the highlights.

UAS Middle School had a wonderful Literacy Week. The week was filled activities ranging from, poetry slams, poetry raps, buddy reading with elementary students, book reviews, Drop Everything And Read and ended today with monologues as well as the opportunity to dress like your favorite book character. The middle school hallways were filled with Thing 1,2 and 3, Charlotte from Charlotte’s Web, Vice Principal Roy from Diary of a Wimpy Kid, a ballerina from Angelina the Ballerina, James Bond, Willy Wonka and an Umpa-Lumpa and many other wonderful characters. It was a great way to end the week. Please enjoy some of the creative characters our students were today.

A group of middle school reading “olympiads” has been reading, reading, reading over the past two months. To culminate the celebration of Literacy Week here at UAS, students gathered in the library this afternoon for the Reading Olympics to answer as many questions as they could about book titles and authors. Participants were able to invite friends to attend and cheer them on during the question rounds. All of the teams did a great job and a wonderful time was had by all. Congratulations to all the Reading Olympiads!

As part of UAS’s celebration of Literacy Week, we had the pleasure of hosting Stephen Swinburne, a children’s book author, photographer, and naturalist. Swinburne spent the last two days visiting elementary and middle school students to share his passion for writing and his fascination for wildlife.
